I hope this post doesn't get deleted again.
This forum moderator has something stuck up his you know what.
Keeps deleting posts that I make that he considers speculative. So I guess every thing we know
about our universe is all we'll EVER know. Because if you can't speculate you're stuck, indefinitely.
Hope this guy is not a teacher. What a horrible thought.
Anyway...
My question is only sort of speculation but not entirely. So maybe it will survive.
Someone told me that an electric motor is the same exact thing as a dynamo.
Now I understand they both use copper wire and magnets. With a spinning shaft down the middle. But a motor takes in electrical energy and converts it into a spinning kinetic force or work? Not sure of the correct phrase sorry. The Dynamo does almost the exact opposite. So I understand the idea. But wouldn't a Dynamo be far more efficient at generating electrical energy then the motor? Don't motors excel at using power to create motion? Do you think a motor would be an equal to a dynamo in power creation?
The reason I ask is I need a Dynamo. 1kw to be exact and I am not finding them for a reasonable price. They are all very expensive. But the motor equivalent seems to be a bit more reasonable.
So I can sub the dynamo for a motor and be satisfied? or will I be throwing away a lot in the way of efficiency?
Thanks
